Free · No sign-up · Answer key included
AI Worksheet Maker's word search generator is free, needs no sign-up, and makes printable word searches with an answer key. Use up to 20 words of your own or a theme, on a 10×10 to 20×20 grid with grade presets from kindergarten to 5th, and print or save a PDF on Letter or A4.
Click the title or instructions to edit them. Changes print as shown.
Paste a spelling list or start from a theme like Thanksgiving, animals or space.
Pick a grid size and directions. K–1 presets keep words across and down.
Print or save as PDF. The answer key circles every word on its own page.
Puzzles are built by code, not by AI. Each word is checked in the grid, and filler letters never spell rude words by accident.
Yes. This free word search generator has no sign-up, no watermark and no limit. Make as many puzzles as you like and print them or save a PDF on Letter or A4, each with its answer key.
Yes. Type or paste up to 20 words of two letters or more, such as this week's spelling list, and it builds a custom word search from them. Bigger grids fit longer lists. Change the list each week to create your own word search again.
Yes. Pick K or 1st grade and the words go only across and down on a 10×10 grid, the easiest kind of word search for kids. From 2nd grade, diagonal words join in, and from 3rd grade words run in every direction.
Yes. Choose the 20×20 grid, words in every direction including backward, and a list of long words. That makes a hard word search for adults or older students, and the answer key still marks every word.
Yes. Turn on Include answer key and the word search prints with an answer key on its last page, every word marked. You can also print the key alone for your desk.
Yes, as free printable PDFs in three levels with answer keys: the Thanksgiving word search, Veterans Day word search, Christmas word search and winter word search. Each opens in this generator to add your own words.
